LOCAL SPORT GRANT PROGRAM
Proudly funded by the NSW Government
2023
In 2023 we successfully applied for 2 Local Sports Grants funded by the NSW Government.
Grant 1: Bateau Bay Dolphins Equipment Grant
The funding we received from the NSW Government through this grant allowed us to purchase equipment for our netball club. We purchased 37 new HART netballs, 31 HART Rubber Marker sets, 8 Coaching Board folders and First Aid kits for all our teams. These have all be great additions to our team kit bags that we supply to our teams for the Winter Netball Season.
Grant 2: Bateau Bay Dolphins Player and Coaches Program
In 2023 through funding from the Local Sports Grant, BBDNC was able to purchase a 12 months subscription to Netspirit Coach Application that was available to all our volunteer coaches for the 2023 winter season. This app supplied over 500 skills videos and numerous resources to aid coaches with their training.
Our players program was to commence in 2023 but due to unforeseen circumstance with the company we contracted to provide training clinics, it has been delayed to 2024. A variance for the grant was approved and we were able to move forwarded with locating another contractor for to move forward with. Head coach for the Central Coast Heart Amber Cross was contacted and though her company Netball4Life we were able to secure training clinic spots for our players and coaches. We hope to be able to continue our association with Amber in the future for the benefit of our club members and we are already planning clinics for 2025.
Our experience with the Grant process through NSW Governments Local Sports Grant Program has been so beneficial for our Netball club that we hope to secure further grants in the future!
